let me in
Gain & H.W Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't talk to me, you're too busy living in your head, head, ooh
I don't know if it's worth it
I'm walking on edge
Barely scratching the surface
It's like you're not here
Saying it on purpose
It ain't fair, ooh
Why we always at war?
What am I here for?
'Cause you know I really don't wanna be in the way
Just wanna make you feel safe
Let, let, let (let me in)
Let, let (let me in)
Say you're misunderstood, you claim nobody cares, cares
I can't tell if you just save your mind for someone else, else
I don't know if it's worth it
I'm walking on edge
Barely scratching the surface
It's like you're not here
Saying it on purpose
Admit that you're scared
I wanna be there, ooh
Why we always at war?
What am I here for?
'Cause you know I really don't wanna be in the way
Just wanna make you feel safe
Let, let, let (let me in)
Let, let (let me in)
(Let me in, yeah)
Aw yeah (let me in, let me in)
You puttin' up a wall
You ain't pick up my call
I'll still be there regardless (I'll still be there, yeah)
No, I don't understand
You never let me in
I know you ain't heartless (ooh)
If it's mine, if it's mine
I'm getting impatient 'cause I've been giving it time, baby
I've been giving it time
So let me in
Why we always at war?
What am I here for?
'Cause you know I really don't wanna be in the way
Just wanna make you feel safe
Let, let, let (let me in)
Let, let (let me in)
Aw yeah

The singer is confused about why they are always at war, and what their purpose is in the relationship.

Despite the challenges, the singer is determined to be there for their partner, even if it means waiting and being patient.
The song is a representation of the struggles that can arise in relationships and the importance of communication and opening up to one another. It is a reminder that relationships require work and effort, and that it can take time to build trust and understanding with someone else.
